This stylish laptop also features a high-gloss, durable HP Imprint finish with an inlaid design.
It's powered by the 1.60 GHz Intel Core Duo T2060 processor, which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance and a more efficient power consumption. This notebook also features an 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), multi-format/dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard slot, and integrated microphone.
This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, which delivers a safer, more reliable, and more productive computing environment. It integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
The Basics
The Intel Core Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the next version of Microsoft Windows, code-named Vista. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. It's more efficient, thanks to Intel's Power Coordination and Deeper Sleep, which help to transfer power only to those areas of the processor that need it. It also features Intel's Digital Media Boost, which delivers enhanced performance on floating point-intensive applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming.
Screen, Video & Audio
You'll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition screen, which displays an 18 percent larger picture than standard 15-inch screens and offers up to an 18 percent improvement in contrast ratio. It has a widescreen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching DVD movies the way they were meant to be seen. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 64 MB of shared video memory. It also offers an integrated audio card and built-in Altec Lansing speakers.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (though no standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a good offering of connectivity options:
It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).
Operating System

Additionally, Windows Vista Home Basic integrates new search tools throughout the operating system to help you quickly find the precise file or program you need.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail.

Customer Reviews
Great product for the price
This is a very useful laptop. Used it for about a year now. Remember you need to upgrade the memory if you have the 512MB model. You can buy 1GB memory (PC 5300 DDR2 200 pin SODIMM) for $15 at Directron.com and many other places.
Wireless, sound, OS (Vista), IR remote for Media Player, display - all work fine. Like the finish of the laptop and the way it feels and the quick access keys. Not as snappy as my gaming machine, but it's pretty good for home use. Never had a problem.
Shame on HP
The unit takes an average of twenty minutes to boot up with many of the start-up programs already blocked off and very little information on the hard drive. No music, very few pictures and only a few documents. (43.9GB free space) My family uses Roadrunner broadband to connect to the internet. My own antiquated Toshiba laptop, which has only 40 GB hard drive capacity, runs well from internet site to internet site while this brand new HP runs like it is on dial-up rather than broadband. Slow, slower and slowest. After three attempts with HP technical support, (many of whom do not speak the English language in a manner in which it can be easily understood), It was explained to me that the reason for the sluggish operation was due to the fact that Vista has a much larger operating system than XP and in order for it to run at a satisfactory speed more RAM is required in the memory module than the basic 512MB that came with the notebook.
Now if the machine comes loaded with Windows Vista and is sold by HP wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that the product would have the acceptable RAM to adequately handle the operating system the customer is being "forced" to use? It is mind boggling to be told that in order for the machine to run properly the customer has to upgrade the memory module and shell out extra dollars in order to do so!!!
Excellent laptop
I have this laptop for 4 month till now. Didn't have a problem till now.
It is great laptop.
The screen is very good, the sound quality is excellent
The wireless network card is powerfull.
But you have to add 1 GB of RAM.
I recommend this laptop for you.
